A cowboy, a lawyer, and an alien walk into a bar. No, seriously.
Welcome to Vancouver, where everywhere is a short 15 minute drive.
India, Eastern Europe, San Francisco? No problem. I have the right buildings for you.
But back to The Bar where the movers, shakers, actors, and directors of the larger production companies like to congregate.
My name is Jay, and unlike the people on the other side of The Bar, I am new to 'The Biz'
Well, part-time bartender, part-time freelancer.
And if this was a T.V. show, this is the point where I would say something cliche like...
This is my story.
=========================================================
Vancouver Freelancers is the story of a kid trying to break into the Film/TV industry. Through the trials and tribulations he befriends a group of people, fledgling actors, writers, all looking for their break, as well as a couple of 'average working stiffs'. There will be a couple of characters which 'host' their own chapters, sometimes with overlapping scenes with different perspective. Ultimately some of the 'Main' characters friends will advance, and others will fail. The recurring conflicts/themes are:
1) When your friends are your coworkers, how do you look out for your own professional interests?
2) Surveillance, Social Media, Reputation, Cyber Harassment
3) How peoples views on Success and Failure color their perception
4) Automation Engineering
